I slogged through season 1, was not impressed with how it ended. Even so, I thought I would give season 2 a fair try. Well, episode 1 of season 2 is just more of the same - I will not be finishing season 2. My advice: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
The show spends a lot of time on boring plot points and does not do anything to hook you on the characters and what they are trying to achieve. When the action does get going it's nonsensical and void of any tension because I do NOT care about these characters.
PROS: acting is solid, with a cast that is clearly talented. The acting alone almost got me hooked. The landscapes and settings show some improvement from season 1.
CONS: the story does not make much sense, character motivations are unclear, writing is erratic, pacing jumps from incredibly slow to rapid fire without warning and with absolutely no build up, and sets/costuming still comes across as a high-budget theme park show.
